Close to major downtown shopping and restaurants - Review of Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis Downtown

Just stayed here for a weekend ... in town for the Vikings/Packers game ... and this hotel was just about perfect. Very centrally located in downtown Minneapolis ... easy walk to Metrodome/Mall of America Field and to Target Center, as well as close to major downtown shopping and restaurants. About 15 minute ride to Bloomington, St. Paul, and Mall of America. The staff here was great ... very friendly and helpful. And very fan-friendly! Many of the guests were in town for the game, and the staff had a lot of fun with the whole rivalry. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn because someone else was paying for my stay, and this was the least expensive downtown hotel during my stay. Well, what an awesome surprise this little gem was! The lobby was gorgeous, and had a welcoming fire in the fireplace. The hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas, with live Christmas trees! The staff was very professional, courteous, and competent, and provided truly some of the finest service I have had in any hotel, including some very high priced venues. My room was well furnished, and included a microwave and a refrigerator, in addition to a coffe maker. The bed was very comfortable. I enjoyed the restaurant onsight--wait staff was great, and the limited menu was quite good. There is also a small convenience store onsight, as well as a small pool. The business area was wonderful--I could print my boarding passes, or print documents sent from my own computer. This hotel was such a great find. I would highly recommend it.

Stayed at this relatively new hotel, nestled between a museum, a beautiful church, and the Oracle building. It's the perfect size and features a full service restaurant. The lobby area feels a great deal like a ski lodge. Friendly people everywhere.

Close enough to downtown, yet next to the highway. I convinced the room service chef to add an item to the menu. They were very accommodating. Made to order omelette for breakfast was also excellent.

I will be back!

Room Tip: Go for the end of the hall.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Although not centrally located it's just a few blocks off the main downtown Minneapolis area - a 10 minute walk to the Oracle office building, on 2nd street, close to the convention center and about a 10 - 15 minute walk to the Nicolet Mall area and lots of shopping and restaurants. This is a very nice hotel with a respectable and reasonably priced restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner - room service is also available. For convenience we had lunch here one day and everything was very fresh and well prepared.

The rooms were fine - very clean and had a comfortable bed. I've had better pillows and an upgrade to a higher threadcount sheet set would be welcomed as they felt a bit scratchy. The bathroom was fine, but note that there is no tub. I like the walk in shower so this was no issue for us. Wireless was complimentary for Hilton Honors - not sure what the charge was otherwise.

The only parking available is valet and they charge for this, so be aware that this is not already included in the price of the hotel. It was an extra 25 per day, not horrible for downtown hotels but would have been nice to know this at the time of booking.

The fitness center was small but the equipment looked fairly new and was in good working order. There is also a pool - although we didn't have time to use this, it looked very inviting.

When in the area again I would stay again based on price.

Our family had a block of rooms for a wedding this last weekend. Not only did we get a great rate but a great value. The most notable was the breakfast; the all you can eat buffet and grill to order selections for $12.95 was incredible. Every breakfast option was covered. The workout facility had very nice elliptical machines and we were pleasantly surprised by the healthy saline pool. The only complaint: the foam beds were not that comfortable. They were supposedly adjustable but we couldn't figure out how. The housekeeping was top notch and all the amenities were there. Definitely a place I would return to.

Last year 's review was not very complimentary but this year there was some improvement in the service which is worth mentioning. The interior of the rooms are still showing signs of aging but the housekeeping has definately stepped up. Everything was crisp and clean complete with the folded face cloth with chocolates. There was an outstanding bellman named Michael who was the ultimate professional both in his service and knowledge making excellent recommendations of local restaurants. He was a delight to interact with. The food ,drinks and service in the bar area was outstanding. You should not miss the happy hour special margarita. I cannot say the same for the service in the 25 th floor lounge. The woman who was working in the area for breakfast on several days had the most sour disposition and was most unwelcoming to the guests. She did not smile or have any positive interactions during any of my observations of her either in the breakfast area or at the outside desk. She should stay behind the scenes because she is probably most efficient but does not care for people,especially those who are either very tired or tend to be boisterous. I have no idea what her name is but she had every long red hair that was pulled back. A happy smiling face is much needed at breakfast.

This stay was pleasant-only drawback is that they only have one person at the front desk which means if you try calling guest services it will take a while to get through. Housekeeping did a beyond awesome job at tidying up the rooms. Best ever! Probably wouldn't stay again due to the fact it's not connected to the skyway.
